4. PPP as a procurement option
All public infrastructure projects with a capital investment over $50 million are required to include consideration of a PPP as a potential procurement method with regard to the value for money drivers, when conducting a procurement options analysis. Projects of less than $50 million may also be suitable for PPP delivery if they exhibit sufficient value for money drivers. The capital threshold may also be triggered by bundling projects together at the Territory Government's discretion.
The procurement options analysis is to be done in accordance with the national PPP guidelines procurement options analysis, and with reference to other ACT budget processes and procurement related law, regulations, policies and guidelines-largely referenced on the Procurement Solutions, Treasury and Government Procurement Board's websites-but may also include internal working papers.
